As of December 31, 2023, Cota Capital had total discretionary regulatory assets under management of approximately $1,173,497,427. Cota Capital did not manage any regulatory assets under management on a non-discretionary basis.

The Initial Funds are currently closed to new investors and are not accepting additional capital contributions at this time. The Initial Funds invest primarily in the equity and equity-related securities of U.S. and non-U.S. modern enterprise technology companies, with investments ranging from seed stage investments in the private market to investments in publicly traded securities.

Cota Capital is authorized, however, to enter into any type of investment transaction that it deems appropriate under the terms of CEVIII’s partnership agreement. Special Purpose Funds From time to time Cota Capital forms and manages, on a transaction-by-transaction basis, special purpose vehicles to participate in investment opportunities, often alongside Cota Capital’s other Funds. Cota Capital may also organize such vehicles to address specific tax, legal, business, accounting or regulatory-related issues that may arise in connection with a transaction or transactions. All of the vehicles described in this paragraph are referred to herein as “SPVs.” Unlike the Initial Funds, CEVII, CEVIII, or CFVII, which do not limit Cota Capital’s investment discretion, Cota Capital is often limited to investing only in the securities relating to the particular transaction for which the SPV was organized. General Matters Cota Capital only manages assets on a discretionary basis. The investors in the Funds have no opportunity to select or evaluate any Fund investments or strategies. Cota Capital selects all Fund investments and strategies. Cota Capital may maintain idle cash or other short-term investments and is authorized to enter into any type of investment transaction that it deems appropriate under the terms of the Funds’ governing documents.
